Well deserved honor. I thought she could have been a serious candidate last season.

LONG BEACH, CA - University of California senior middle hitter Camille Leffall has been named to the 2004 AVCA Division I All-America Second Team, it was announced today by The American Volleyball Coaches Association. Earlier, Leffall had been named to the AVCA Pacific All-Region Team, and was a first team All-Pac-10 selection.

Leffall, 6-1 middle hitter from Upland, Calif., is only the third All-American in Cal volleyball history, following Sylvie Monnet from 1981-83, and Mia Jerkov in 2002 and 2003. This season, Leffall helped Cal to a 17-12 record and a third-consecutive NCAA tournament appearance, advancing to the NCAA second round before falling 3-2 to Saint Mary's Dec. 3. She broke her own school record with a .384 hitting percentage this year, surpassing her .381 hitting percentage set as a freshman in 2001. She also is the school-record holder with a .363 career hitting percentage, and broke the school-record for career blocks with 438 blocks from 2001-04.

Leffall shined in the Bears' Oct. 31 win over Stanford this season, recording a career-high 21 kills with a .425 hitting percentage. From Sept. 28-Nov. 5, she hit .300 or better in 11-straight matches, and hit .300 or better in 21 of 29 matches overall. Leffall was a member of the Pac-10 All-Freshman Team in 2001, was honorable mention All-Pac-10 in 2003, and a first team All-Pac-10 selection in 2004. She was also a member of five different all-tournament teams during her college career.

Yeah. However - she somewhat faded at the end of the season, and finished hitting under .200. She'll be alright.

Angie attracted a LOT of attention from opposing teams, like dbl and triple blocks, after they found out though not tall, she is FOR REAL. She'll be working to swipe and whatall, to keep on scoring.
Ellen another frosh, 6'2", came in the last couple matches and hit over the top of all the blocks.
She is touted to be as good as Angie and at 6'2" she will be a force in the upcoming years.
Cal does not appear to be going away anywhere.

Chris Bigelow is a wonderful recruiter. Along with Co Head Coaches Rich and Lee both of whom we hope to keep!.....wvb in Berkeley is a pleasure!
